that morning, the feminine mirror of Edward Redmond had much to do . combing through her hair by herself, ensuring her clothes were laid out for her meeting with the English teacher of scarlet fox house later, bathing and changing into plaid skirt with modest white button-up .
joy behind the door, handle twisted with one mitten while the other held the pie carefully .
pushing the door open with flair . . .
only to come face to face with a fearful woman . . .
โ who . . . are you ? โ
hands both return to the pie dish . her mark isnโt resonating .
behind the blonde locks is obvious burnt skin, charred into the shape of a pentagram with symbols surrounding it . though, it wasnโt long before it was covered by a pale hand, head turned to see the snake charmer . when had he gotten here ?
โ oh, sorry ! Iโm sorry ! โ
for a singular moment, she was happy . it seems like the beautiful serpent would trust her and come up to meet her face to face .
until it slithered past to something far more familiar . which made her nervous . especially considering she wore her hair up today .
without a blink of an eye โ snake had found himself behind the blonde ( had he teleported , well we never know , we will leave the mystery open for interpretation of the mind. )
slowly blinking at the serpents who immediately began to slither over and begin making way to
โ can you show him to me ? โ
seems sheโs more than willing to meet him, if his companions came all the way over to those side of town . itโs not often she sees new people here .
hand left itself open, not a twitch of muscles or nerve impulse moving fingers . she wants them
emily a friend face to all โ a gentle one would slither close and slitted tongue was just a little away from offered hand. หขแตแถ แต is what the corn snake would deem the female.
did she wish to meet their companion ? he was not very good with new people.
pausing once sheโs rounded a corner, eyes scanning for any signs of life aside from her and the serpentine guests . none of note .
perfect .
โ is your handler here ? or are you following me for some particular reason ? โ
gentle voice, body now knelt with arms extended down .
the prying slitted eyes of usual familiar serpent companion was not to be seen within sight. three snakes were just curiously following the blonde out of the ๐๐๐ก๐๐๐๐ ๐ก๐๐๐ smell they would intake.
. . . sheโs noticed a while ago, but decided to not say anything until sheโs far enough away from prying eyes . perhaps thatโs why sheโs still walking despite the slithering behind her .
โ oh . . . then I guess I can have some of it . thank you for being so gracious . โ
bowing her head out of respect while placing the plate on a nearby table . sheโs clearly a royal of some kind, considering her clothing and stance .
โ may I ask for your name ? โ
